Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to fusion nano antibody protein, and particularly relates to an RGD4C fusion anti-TNF alpha nano antibody (RGD4C-anti-TNF alpha-Nanobody), a preparation method and application thereof in resisting triple negative breast cancer.
Background
Breast cancer is one of the common cancers in women, and accounts for about 30% of the cancers in women. Among them, Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), which is a type of breast cancer in which the expression of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 is less than 1%, accounts for 15-20% of all breast cancers, and has a stronger proliferative aggressiveness and a poorer clinical prognosis. Surgical resection therapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are common means for TNBC treatment at present. However, the surgical treatment is extremely difficult to be completely removed, the radiotherapy has extremely large body injury, the chemotherapy is easy to generate drug resistance and dosage tolerance, and the prognosis is easy to relapse[1]。
TNF α was initially discovered because of its ability to induce rapid hemorrhagic necrosis of experimental tumors, a major inflammatory cytokine. In 1987, Leibovich published in Nature proved that low dose TNF alpha can promote tumor proliferation[2]. Its structure is a type II transmembrane protein, with the carboxyl end extracellular and the amino end intracytoplasmic. The TNF alpha exists in two forms of a transmembrane form and a free form, and the extracellular end of the transmembrane TNF alpha exists in the form of the free TNF alpha after being cut. TNF α also exists in both TNFR1 and TNFR2 receptors, which exert different physiological effects. TNF α can activate different cellular response pathways, i.e., survival and proliferation of cells, transcription of pro-inflammatory genes, and cell death. TNFR 1 can activate Ras/Raf/MEK1/ERK1,2 and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways after TNF alpha binding to promote cell survival and proliferation. TNFR2 has nuclear transcription factor NF-kB activating function, and can mediate endothelial/epithelial tyrosine kinase to activate VEGFR2, promote angiogenesis and AKT activation[3-4]. Research shows that low-concentration TNF alpha plays a role in promoting tumor proliferation and metastasis, and the anti-TNF alpha antibody can inhibit the proliferation and metastasis of breast cancer cells in vivo[5]. In camels and sharks, a special antibody exists, the structure of the antibody naturally lacks a light chain, and a heavy chain variable region gene is cloned and expressed to obtain an antibody fragment, the diameter of which is only a few nanometers, and the antibody fragment is called a Nanobody (variable region of heavy chain of heavy antibodies). The antibody has the characteristics of high affinity activity, high stability, high expression quantity and the like, and shows excellent application potential in tumor treatment and diagnosis[6-7]. The existing research shows that the TNF alpha nano antibody can inhibit the proliferation and the metastasis of breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo[8]。
Integrin receptors are low expressed in quiescent Endothelial Cells (ECs) and other normal tissues and high expressed on the surface of a variety of tumor cells. It belongs to the family of cell adhesion receptors, is a transmembrane heterodimer, and plays a role in the interconnection of extracellular matrix and intracellular scaffolds. Each integrin is composed of an alpha and beta subunit joined by non-covalent bonds, and 18 beta 0 subunits and 9 beta 1 subunits together form 24 integrin heterodimers. Integrin β 2v β 33 is one of the most important members of the integrin family, and is composed of an α v (CD51) subunit and a β 3(CD61) subunit, also known as Vitronectin (VN) receptor. Polypeptides and proteins containing an arginine-glycine-asparagine (RGD) motif are capable of specifically binding to the integrin α v β 3 receptor, RGD being the minimal recognition unit for integrin α v β 3 receptor binding. Integrin alpha v beta 3 is involved in cell-cell or cell-ECM "inside-out" and "outside-in" two processes of "cross-talk" function [9]. Through these signaling, integrin α v β 3 is involved in the processes of survival, proliferation and metastasis of tumor cells[10]。
Targeting of integrin α v β Using RGD3 specific binding activity, and a great deal of research on targeted therapy and targeted diagnosis of tumors is available. In addition, the RGD peptide has the functions of directly killing tumor cells and inducing the apoptosis of the tumor cells. RGD4C (CDCRGDCFC) is one of RGD polypeptide family, and can be efficiently combined with various integrins on the surface of mammalian cells[11]。
At present, a more effective treatment means for breast cancer, particularly triple negative breast cancer, is still lacking, and the urgent need for providing a more effective treatment means is suggested.
